Mahonia trifolia
26th April 2013
A large growing shrub from Mexico and the southwest USA. I have it under cover at present while it grows large enough to plant out.
It should be hardy and make a good spring flowering evergreen shrub.

It was planted out earlier this year. In the warmth of the greenhouse it was floriferous enough to make a good show but I think it will be a bit duller
growing in shade outside.
In habitat it grows into a very large shrub and if it manages that here it will be a useful windbreak.
